أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبِرَكِيُّ ثنا الْمُعَافَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ ثنا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فِينَا فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ نَعْمَ الْمَرْءُ مَا عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كَانَ لَعَفِيفًا مُسْلِمًا إِنْ كَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ بَدَا لَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالسَّرَائِرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَجَبَتْ» قَالَ وَكُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي جَنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ أَوْ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ بِئْسَ الْمَرْءُ مَا عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كَانَ لَفَظًّا غَلِيظًا إِنْ كَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالسَّرَائِرِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي بَدَا لَنَا مِنْهُ فَذَاكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَجَبَتْ» ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} [البقرة 143]

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a funeral among the Banu Salamah, and I was walking beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man said, "What a good man, as far as we know, if he was chaste and a Muslim, if he was." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you the one saying that?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, that is what appeared to us, and Allah knows best what is hidden." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is affirmed." He said, "And we were with him at the funeral of a man from the Banu Harithah or from the Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal. A man said, "What a bad man, as far as we know, if he was coarse and harsh, if he was." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you the one saying that?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah knows best what is hidden. As for what appeared to us from him, that is what it is." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is affirmed." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: {And thus We have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you} [Al-Baqarah 143].
